Dr. Kevin King, MD

Expert Radiation Oncology Care In The Heart Of Chicago

MEET THE DOCTOR

Dr. Kevin King’s path to medicine began in middle school when a close friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer—a moment that shaped his lifelong dedication to oncology.

A native of Batavia, Illinois, Dr. King earned dual degrees in Neuroscience and Life Sciences Communications at the University of Wisconsin–Madison before serving in the Peace Corps in Azerbaijan. He went on to complete his medical degree and radiation oncology residency at Rush Medical College, where he was named Chief Resident, Resident of the Year, and Researcher of the Year, earning recognition as a Crain’s Healthcare Hero.

Now practicing at City of Hope’s downtown Chicago clinic, Dr. King specializes in breast, prostate, GI, and lung cancers, as well as select non-cancerous conditions. His approach prioritizes precision, accelerated treatment strategies, and a seamless patient experience—ensuring world-class care with a deeply personal touch.

“Every patient I treat has a life, a family, and a future that matters. I’m here to walk with them through every step—not just to provide treatment, but to make sure they feel seen, supported, and never alone. My commitment is to give every patient the reassurance that their outcome is as important to me as it is to them."

Patient Experiences

Slide 1 of 4

"I spent my daily treatments with the downtown outpatient staff and I want to thank them for their care, knowledge and professionalism. Dr King is amazing with explaining the details and addressing concerns. He would readily text asking how I was feeling or just following up while never going more than 3 minutes returning text. That to me goes beyond a doctor—that is a friend who was truly available for me. I highly recommend anyone going through cancer or any needing to help a family member to call. It will be the best decision in your fight and recovery with cancer.

KC, Prostate Cancer Treatment

"Dr. Kevin King, is the most caring, personable, patient, pleasant, thorough and accessible doctor I have ever had! I was fortunate that my cancer was treatable with the SBRT, a state-of-the art robotic external radiation therapy device, which this clinic is one of the very, very few cancer treatment hospitals in the Chicagoland area to have. That meant that my cancer was treatable, in just 5 sessions, as opposed to the 20-25 sessions for treatment by the non-SBRT external radiation therapy I was going to be required to undergo at one of the other leading hospitals in Chicago. In short, I highly and strongly recommend Dr. King for anyone needing cancer treatment!"

JV, Prostate Cancer Treatment

"Dr King and the whole oncology & [radiation onology] team are amazing. It’s hard enough to deal with cancer but knowing you're the priority helps. This team is amazing and I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone but I would recommend this team to ANYONE facing this awful phase. 10 stars"
